Since their first trip together Erin & Craig have used a high-five and synchronized cheer of "Adventure!" to help keep their spirits up when the travel gods throw them a curve-ball. Now they will put it to the ultimate test as they embark on world-wide travel with an added team member: their baby!

Day Twenty-One: End of 3rd Week and 3rd Year

We woke up to a beautiful sunny day on the equator in
Entebbe. We had spotted multiple gecko friends in our palatial room the
night before, grateful for the help in the fight against our insect foes, we
checked up on them in the morning only to find ants devouring one of them. Thankfully
the housekeeper was just as surprised and disgusted as we were so we
didn't deduct any Travel Bucks™ from ourselves. Travel Bucks being
our arbitrary currency that we award ourselves for traveling smartly or
being adventurous/frugal.

The majority of the day was spent trying to find the
gorilla office and arranging the details for our journey to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park (best named NP in the world). In the evening we enjoyed one of our nicest dinners yet...a
romantic techno-Italian meal in a Zen garden restaurant to celebrate
our three year anniversary. (Lamp chops in a blueberry mint sauce with
mashed potatoes and freshly caught tilapia in an olive pesto from Lake
Victoria-Yum!)

We capped off the night with a candlelit game of cribbage
on our front porch, which conveniently kept us unaware of the power
outages.
